What a season, RotoBallers. Fantasy baseball is always a fun, interesting, and long season - filled with injuries, breakout players, and different strategies. It takes stamina and endurance to win the six month marathon, and we're here today to recognize those who pulled it off.

With 468 teams competing to be crowned champ of the 2019 Fantasy Baseball RotoBaller Challenge on Fantrax (and to have their bank account padded a bit more), only one prevailed. Below is the final update, showing the leaders through the end of the season.

In case you missed it, the RotoBaller Challenge is a fantasy baseball tournament with lots of prizes, powered by Fantrax and RT Sports. In 2020 we will expand the tournament even further - stay tuned for details throughout the MLB off-season.

Who Has Been Crowned Champ?

?? And the Fantrax winner is... Thankful To Be Alive ??

A big congrats from everyone at RotoBaller and Fantrax!

In addition to winning the $500 cash grand prize, and a full year of RotoBaller's Premium Pass ($99 value), you now get to carry the ultimate prize - you are THE champ of the Fantrax RotoBaller Challenge, and get to carry bragging rights throughout the entire off-season.

This was no easy feat, as 468 teams competed for the gold, and you defeated all of them. You are a true RotoBaller!

Among the many draft picks and waiver wire additions made, the main studs leading you to glory were Trea Turner, Juan Soto, Jose Altuve, J.T. Realmuto, Tommy Pham, Paul DeJong, Zack Greinke and Jack Flaherty. Here was the original draft roster, and the final roster, with many waiver wire add/drops made in between:
